Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] commit doc: document that -c, -C, -F and --fixup with -m error
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 16:00:55 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171222160056.10102-2-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171222160056.10102-1-avarab@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <CAPig+cRDi14Rez+6ZJAEdxHpo0Mw7JQFkcuG2oVqv2pP_ZbvhQ@mail.gmail.com>

Document that providing any of -c, -C, -F and --fixup along with -m
will result in an error. Some variant of this has been errored about
explicitly since 0c091296c0 ("git-commit: log parameter updates.",
2005-08-08), but the documentation was never updated to reflect this.
